This NSX just missed the mark as homage to the old one.

Just feels like there needs to have been 3 cars in between them to see them as part of the same thing.

This comment nails it for me. While the new one looks great and by all accounts is an amazing machine, I feel like it just looks like any other modern supercar. The original nsx really looks like nothing else.

As above, maybe if we had seen it develop into this through model generations I would be more excited about its looks.

I'm a Honda fan from way back, but the new NSX just leaves me a little cold. Maybe it's because the original was designed and built in Japan, with the input of Ayrton Senna, while the new one was designed and built in America, with the input of every barrow-pushing, hipster-chasing marketer in the area. While the original raised the bar and forced the supercar manufacturers to up their game, the new NSX feels more like it's chasing the pack. And struggling.

They should have built a road-going version of the HSV-010 GT, and screw the environmental BS. IMO of course.

I dont have much nostalgia for the classic NSX, in theory it would be a great car to own but my view is a little jaded. maybe because Maerica can get NSX's but not GTRs, so they go nuts on making abominations of the NSX platform.

Ive seen that Jay Leno video and that new car has lots of interesting bits and pieces and even got my a little bit hyped for it. Its actually a supercar i dont mind looking at, for a change.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
